Relentless pursuit of the basics.
No matter if it sport or life skills or walking on lead, being good at the basics will take you a very long way.
Invest in them.

Still working on the foundations the Back Transport but it is starting to open up to what the exercise looks like 😊

Her first time barking in a blind, a little messy but she didn't touch the pad and she made a big effort to find her position ☺️
She is so cool 😎

What it looks like when we have environmental exposure.
There is no music on this video, so you can hear exactly how loud this place is.
This was by far the busiest and noisiest place we have taken her to date.
I have the requirements of my dogs to be very good citizens, and I pour a lot of time and training into being this. I also want interactions and engagement with me. It doesn't have to be the whole time as she is allowed to take in everything that is going on, too. For me, a social dog is not one that runs up to people and other dogs but one that can be perfectly comfortable with all that is there and all that goes on and remains neutral. Also a reminder that not all environments are suitable for a dog to be on a long line doing whatever they choose, there are definitely better places suited to doing that and outside she had more room to do that but inside was far too busy.
She had folk running and screaming whilst they cheered each other on (there was a fitness event on), many kids running past her only centimeters away, dogs barking at her, and so much noise and music. She remained super coold outside stalls whilst we got breakfast and bought other things. She was delighted to be fussed by a stranger that asked if she could pet her.... I am always super impressedand gratefulfor those who ask instead of help themselves 🙌..... fair to say she excelled my expectations for her first time in this heavy environment 😍
What does environmental training look like to you and what do you consider a social dog?

When is the best time to practise control for safety and emergencies?
All the time it's not needed so when it is needed you are really good at it!
And yes, obedience behaviours helped build this kind of freedom 😉

Relentless persuitof the basics and a huge dedication to fitness and conditioning to keep our dogs in the best possible condition to do all we ask them to do..... this is the majority of the work. Not the protection, not the obedience routine.... it's this...... treat and look after them like the athletes you want them to be 💪
January looked a lot like this.... horrific weather, cold but emersed in prep for the coming season 💪
Built different.
